Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On May 24, 2000 in Kigali, Rwanda, Andre Bumaya of the Rwandan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation, and Shi Guangsheng, the Chinese minister of commerce and cooperation, signed a memorandum of understanding for a 20 million RMB grant. This funding would go toward a feasibility study for a rail link between Kigali and Isaka dry port in northern Tanzania, as well as the establishment of an irrigation network (ID#17358) and the construction of a road in Kigali (ID#17238). The completion and start dates of the project are unknown. It is unclear how this funding was allocated between the three projects.
